I am assuming you are hiding the IP because it is a public IP? If it is
private, then hiding 192.168.1.133 is really not necessary.

SPN is based on the FQDN called invoicing01.yourdomain.com. Do you have a
single label name domain name?

It's starting to look like a single label domain name. I'm guessing at this
point with the limited info provided. That was why I asked for that info to
actually see everything one shot.

A single label name is "domain" rather than the required format of
"domain.com", "domain.net", "domain.local", or "domain.derek".
